Re: Barrel for 1958 R13

What MP are you using? With the Vandorens, I've had better tuning with the non-13 series ... with a selected barrel.

Recently, and to much to my delight, I have found the stock Buffet 66mm barrel and my Reserve X0 MP play very well in tune, on a recent vintage R13/Greenline. I have to add up to 1.25-1.50 mm of tuning rings under warm conditions ... which gives me just enough wiggle room. If I could find a 67mm Greenline barrel, I might give that a shot, just to avoid using the rings.

All of my reverse taper barrels actually created more tuning anomalies. The exit bore of the X0 and the input bore of my R13 measures essentially identical ... about 14.88-14.90 mm, using a digital caliper. I assume that the stock barrel bore is the same. It all works for me ... right now ...

Good luck!

Tom
